Gretchen has been practicing psychotherapy since 1990 in the Boulder/ Erie area. She specializes in working with transitions - menopause in particular. Gretchen received her MA in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University in 1989 and works from the basic view that as human beings we are fundamentally sane and our confusion is temporary. She is steeped in both Contemplative and Psychodynamic approaches in talk therapy. She also runs consultation groups for professionals.

I specialize in working with children, teens and adults to overcome anxiety, social anxiety, public performance anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. My therapeutic toolbox is full with training in Internal Family Systems, Gestalt Therapy and Music Therapy. I am the author of the Conscious Performing -from fear to freedom. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

I am a licensed professional counselor candidate at Louisville Family center, serving adults, couples and people with addictions. Mindfulness-based, somatic techniques, Gestalt, NVC and existential psychotherapy are therapies that I use. I affirm people of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, national origins, religions, and SES.
